The Tutorial Is Too Hard

I put it in my inventory because I didn't want to put out the fire on the creature's corpse.

You can put out the fire later.

You open the window and let out a little smoke in the room.

I continued to think, waiting for air.

Infringement of dominance has been used before.

It's because I know it well or I don't know how to use it.

And it was clear where this power came from.

[Faith: 361]

This faith is still rising gradually.

This was different when it was 100, and different when it was 200.

The higher the faith, the greater the power I could handle and the more comfortable I felt.

This power is the divine power used by the gods.

I've never thought about it before, but what if I consider the nature of divine power to be an infringement of dominance?

I didn't feel any camouflage.

The greatest characteristic of the divine incantation was that the essence of the force lies in the god, not in the caster itself, and applies directly to the subject of the incantation.

When I think about the blind spell that my husband and I used the other day, I can easily tell.

Blind magic as a magic spell is more primitive than divine spells.

Blind magic is no different from the flashbulbs used on Earth.

It is a method of temporarily blinding an enemy by causing strong light to burst, or inversely blocking the light.

Furthermore, beyond trying to interrupt only a certain range, it applies its effects exclusively to the anterior cornea of the target and develops range enchantments into targeted enchantments.

But the sacred spells are different.

It just directly touches the subject's nervous system and blocks his/her vision.

If you look at it like this, it is a ridiculous force.

It's not attacking the nervous system and cutting it off. It's just manipulating the nervous system so it can't see anything for a while.

Why don't we touch something other than vision?

Touch a part of the brain to restrict the subject's breathing.

Enemies who cannot breathe will choke on their own throats or their own throats.

Even though it was not an elaborate manipulation, the subject was likely to become permanently maimed or die.

So was healing magic, the representative of the sacred incantation.

Interfering with other people's pain or body from a distance to cure injuries or illnesses, and vice versa.

It was too dangerous and powerful.

I could not accept the fact that this power could be gained by the faith of less than 100 people.

If this were true, the leaders of many cults on Earth would be able to make their own lies true.

What came to my mind as I continued to worry was the power I gained on the 35th floor.

The mysterious power absorbed from the stone given by the Goblin King of the Fourth Floor Boss Room.

You can then see in the stages that it is the same stone that emerged from the body of a part of the monster from the source.

And unlike the stones that I got from the stages, I felt no power at all, there was actually power in them, and I absorbed it.

The Spirit King, whom I met on the 40th floor, asked me how the power absorbed from the stone of origin is related to divinity and how willing I am to give it to him.

I learned that the power of the Spirit King's attitude is much more important than I thought.

Not only was the Spirit King an apostle, but even the gods were very important in thinking about its power and hoping to gain it.

I have heard that many times the gods have already created a tutorial and the biggest reason for summoning the challenger is to select a new apostle.

And the mission of the apostle is to collect the stones from this source.

Taking all these facts together, we can think of the divine power and the source power that can be gained from people as creating a great synergy.

If so, it did not seem so strange that such visible power could be operated through the faith gained from fewer than 100 people.

Little by little, the thread of thought began to unfold.

But there were still many questions.

First of all, it was strange that I had not experienced this power for the first time on the 56th floor here.

I thought about the time I dealt with the apostles on the competition stage.

If we hadn't dealt with this power then, we might have died there.

It was a dangerous moment, and I had to find a way to survive that desperately.

I had the power of the source on the 35th floor, but I didn't have any faith at the time.

It was on this 56th floor stage that I learned about the faith and recognized its power.

There were other questions.

The power that I exerted against the apostle was so different that it was hard to compare it to the monster in my inventory.

Digging up the body of a half-dying monster and drinking the power of the six apostles.

It is clear which side needs more power.

I wondered why it was possible to operate that much at that time.

I don't think the mysterious potential revealed in the crisis of death that I didn't even know existed.

People panic if they really think they're going to die, but they don't let out their hidden powers.

I would have used that a long time ago.

It could be the difference between the targets.

Although half dead, it may be less expensive to touch the trunk of force emitted from someone else's body, but not from the body, than to touch the body of the monster, which is the perfect batsman.

Maybe it was because they were modeled after me.

I had questions and hypotheses like this, but I was frustrated because I didn't have a clear answer.

Usually I would ask Kirikiri, but this time it's different.

They were questions that would not be answered properly even if they were to be asked by Kirikiri.

Most importantly, you have to face the Slimy Dragon instead of the Kirikiri until you clear level 59.

I didn't think that little dragon would solve my question.

[Brave.]

My father and I sent a message.

I was pretending to be a frog when it was time.

Frogs and couples sometimes move and communicate with people, but that activity was limited to a certain amount of time.

In most cases, they are said to remain still like a building pillar or decoration.

I asked him why, and he said it made people feel more comfortable.

My father explained it to me for a long time, but I didn't understand.

I decided to accept and move on appropriately to the last words of my father and wife that they were comfortable with praying in front of him.

Why?

[What kind of pagoda was this?]

I did.

I once told my father and father what it said in the message.

[I guess that's what it was.]

The father and wife said that one of the decorations in the middle of the first floor of the tower suddenly shattered, and immediately after that there was a view of a place on the wall.

[Perhaps the seal is broken, reflecting the area where something was sealed.]

Of course you are.

When I heard the father and wife's explanation, I was not surprised.

Yeah, well, it's a hell of a challenge if you're willing to take one risk you can't even think of like this.

It was consistent.

[But now the reflection on the wall is a bit harsh. Come down and see for yourself.]

I went down to the first floor without speaking to my father and wife.

The father and wife who beat him to death saying he shouldn't come down.

The situation appears to be quite serious.

When I went downstairs, people looked at me.

It looked strange.

Normally, no matter what happened, I felt relieved and liked seeing my chest.

But this time, even when they saw me, there was no anxiety in their eyes.

What appeared on the wall was a giant bud of flowers.

It was big in a wide beehive, so it could not reach its size, but it was bigger than a messy soccer field.

I knew that I had seen it before.

The leaf part of a stuffed bud was the flesh of a necrotic creature, not a plant.

Instead of shaking violently in the wind, he was having periodic massive seizures, like a beating heart.

It was like my guts were being torn out alive.

When the disgust is too much, people are afraid of it.

That's what the people on the first floor are saying.

I've seen that before on a few floors.

47th floor.

[Hey, is that the one that explodes? Isn't that right?]

[Yes, I think so. A while ago, it was half buried underground, so it was very densely populated, but now it's almost certain.]

There were so many different kinds of monsters from the source.

I'm sorry to call you a monster.

That creature was unusual, among other things.

It stores its power underground or underwater for a long time, like a termite larva, and then explodes out.

Bang, bang.

I can't compare it to when pimples burst and the sebum comes out.

Immediately after the explosion, the small spores inside the monster rise with a resonance.

Light spores wind up and spread across the planet.

That was all I knew.

The 47-story stage's mission was to lead and protect people to the dimensional gate that the vaccine prepared before it exploded.

When it exploded and the spores spread, I didn't know exactly what was happening.

I just assumed it would be terrible.

[What do I do?]

It's a monster I've already been through, but I was completely ignorant of the attack method.

The goal on the 47th floor is to lead people, not to kill them.

[Didn't you say you couldn't kill a warrior back then?]

There was also the fact that he couldn't touch her quickly.

On the 47th floor stage, a message pointed out that if you touch that monster, it could explode.

Before entering the stage, Kirikiri was convinced that he wouldn't fight the bombs and asked you to lead the people away before killing that monster.

When I actually faced it on the 47th floor stage, I avoided the position because if I touched it wrong, the contents would spill onto me and I couldn't even think to look at it.

I thought about attacking from a distance, but I heard that the blast radius encompasses the planet.

I didn't want to turn that spore upside down to fill my curiosity.

It wasn't hard to detonate the bomb, but there was no way to disarm it without detonating it.

[How many days ago was that?]

Six days, I think.]

After accumulating power, the monster is exposed outside and ready to explode for 6 days.

There was still time.

This gives me an idea of what the stage wants from the challenger.

That monster is usually used as an incurable condition.

56 floors of clear conditions achieve 500 Faith points, not killing monsters.

Achieve your objective in time, regardless of the people in this tower and other towers.

As you can see the monster on the wall of this tower, you can see the monster in the other towers.

You didn't have to go to the other tower and whisper to the apostles.

All you have to do is do what you need to do to gain faith near the wall-shining monster.

Here, one problem was that other apostles would think the same thing.

If the other towers want to collect a certain amount of Faith just like me.

I sighed, not trying to organize my thoughts.

I thought it would be political.

Like the politicians who used to vote on TV, people will see the seven apostles who want to defeat the monster through the screen on the wall and send their faith to one or more of them.

The apostle who collects the faithful up to 500 first wins.

I told my father and father about my hypothesis that I had solved so far.

After listening to me until the end, he asked me one question.

[Do the apostles of the other towers want to accumulate faith competitively like you? And that's the same amount of target?]

[Yeah, maybe.]

I wouldn't have used this method unless I had to compete with the other tower apostles.

If not, the apostles of the other tower would have been very uncomfortable with me gathering the faithful from their tower people.

[So… well, I have to think of something that would appeal to the people who are watching.]

[No, thank you.]

Yes?

[Let's just kill him, that one.]

[… but what if it explodes?]

Make sure it doesn't explode.

Of course, it could explode.

Probably more likely to pop than not.

[When it explodes, won't the people who are watching here think that the monster died?]

Then I guess 500 Faith will have to do.
